The brush on my hoover windtunnel stopped rotating.We already replaced the belt, and that did not seem to help

Answers :

Check to see if the brush is frozen up. If you can not rotate it by hand you need to remove it and clean as best you can. Add a bit of WD40 at each end by the pieces that hold it onto the vacuum and turn by hand to be sure it is free.\015\012When reassembling, make sure the belt is put on so that the brush turns in the proper direction.

I have a Hoover Windtunnel Farrington upright model U6431-900
It has worked flawlessly until last week. The roller brush has stopped turning and I believe it is the belt that has broken but I am not sure how to remove the cover to inspect it and replace the belt if that is the problem.
Please inform me how to perform the operation and what I should I look for?
Is there a site with a diagram on how to replace said parts?
Thanks for any and all helpful info that you can supply me with.

My machine (Hoover Wind Tunnel - bagless) is only 1 yr. old. The agitator brush doesn't turn all the time. I know it's not supposed to turn when in the upright position. However, it only seems to work when I have the setting on high. When I stop, but have not put the machine in the upright position, it stops again and then slowly starts moving. Could the V-belt be worn out already? In the owner's manual it states that this belt is not normally replaced. The exact same thing happened with my old

Sounds like you should do two things:\015\0121- Remove and clean the beater brush of all debris as best you can. At the end of the brush you will see a hard rubber piece, at both ends, that holds it in place in the body of the vacuum.\015\012Add som ...

Windtunnel belt I have a new Hoover Windtunnel canister. The belt keeps coming off. It happened a couple weeks ago (several times after putting the belt back on) so I assumed I might need a new belt as it might have dried out at the store. I ordered new belts and today I used it for about an hour and the belt came off again, twice. There doesn't seem to be anything to hold the belt on the stem as it seems to slip off. I have tried it centered, to the left and to the right....can you help. I am v

Belts I have a Hoover self-propelled windtunnel, purchased 6-04. It gets light use. I have replaced the v belt 3 times, once under warranty, and it must be replaced again.

Hoover Windtunnel Hello!
I had to change the flat belt on my vaccum and now the belt won't stay on. I can replace it, use the vaccum, then the next time the belt comes off. Is there something I did not do right?
Thanks for your help!

I need to replace belt #38528-033 on a Hoover WindTunnel vacuum model #U5463-960. I've had the vacuum for a long time and have misplaced all operational and instructional info that came with it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

My beater bar on Hoover Wind Tunnel 7500 has quit turning. I already replaced the belt. It worked for a while, but now it has stopped and is burning out.

Hoover, model # UH30070 Wind tunnel vacuum
Brush won't turn. I do not see how to remove this to replace the brush, and besides it's only about a year old! Why is it already broken? There's no visible evidence on the brush that would make it stop, i.e. string, clogged, etc. Can you help?

I have a hoover windtunnel cyclonic model #5780-900. The beater brush will not spin. I have replaced the belt but it doesn't seem to engage when put into vacumm position.

My hoover windtunnel is not picking anything up all of a sudden. Also the roller underneith is not spinning. I've replaced filters and the attachment part is working fine, just when it's in the upright position it won't pick anything up. It also doesn't seem to be self propelled anylonger either. It use to **** everything up, including the dog. Please help!

The belt that drives the brush roll has broken. That's why it doesn't pick up and why it doesn't pull itself forwards. Check the User Manual (download from Hoover website if necessary) for information on replacing the belt. Good luck! ...

Hoover Wind Tunnel 7500 Brush not Turning. I have replaced the Brush and the belt. The problem does not seem to be either to me. I believe might be a missing part. The place were the belt hooks on is a metal pole which never seems to grip the belt well. In fact it seems loose most of the time and slips on the brush, causing the belt to eventually burn up. Could there be a missing plastic or rubber piece meant to hold the belt taught on the metal pole?

The brushes will not rotate on my hoover vacuum. the belts are in good shape, the motor is turning the vacuum motor, but the belt on the brushes seems loose. I ordered a replacement belt but still nothing. Their is a small "idler" but their dosent seem to be enough tension on the belt. Any ideas?

I have a Hoover Windtunnel U5472-940. The belt broke so I replaced it. Immediately the next one broke. The belt goes around the brush cylinder and a metal post. I think there is supposed to be something on the metal post to protect the belt but I can't tell from the owner's manual. I also can't find out if this is a part that can be replaced. I've only had the vacuum about a year and a half.
Thanks

Brush Roll belt stops turning durring vacuuming on WindTunnel self-propelled, v belt is a little loose with handle down. Tensioning roll is engaged OK, but fully at the end of its travel. Replaced belts flat and v, but still stops turning even on high carpet setting when vacuuming. Carpet setting and height adjustment appears to be working OK, roll is clean and turns easily when out. Also turns easily until it engages the carpet. Self propel function works just fine.
